In the next few days, Su Mo has been leveling up. After the new version came online, he unlocked level 50, and the whole game was full of enthusiasm for leveling up.
The main mission has nothing to do with Wallace.
Su Mo visited Wallace, but there were no relevant clues, and Wallace had obviously become a busy man.
In just a few minutes of Su Mo's visit, there was a knock on the door at least three times. This was despite Wallace's instructions not to disturb him except in emergencies.
It’s obvious that everyone is no longer on the same level.
Even if Wallace is still enthusiastic.
After fighting monsters for a few days until he was dizzy, Su Mo finally reached level 52.
Then I received a report that a large group of NPCs were heading towards Huggins and had entered the territory.
Su Mo almost thought that someone wanted to settle accounts with Qiu Hou.
Count Dracula and Archduke Stan were not dead, but they both disappeared during the war. They were rewarded by the federation, but no one has ever found their traces.
Su Mo originally thought that Count Dracula might come to take revenge on him, but he didn't show up after waiting for so long.
Archduke Stan probably won't come to take revenge.
Your Excellency the Grand Duke is a very charming person, but his values cannot be synchronized with Su Mo's.
It wasn't them who came this time either.
As Su Mo received the tip, the messenger also came to him and handed over an official document from the federation.
Garrison notice
The new Southern Legion, a 15,000-man regiment, was ordered to be stationed in Huggins, hoping that Huggins could provide certain material support.
Su Mo was a little confused after receiving the order.
It is not unusual for the regular army of the Federation to be stationed in local areas. The entire Federation is basically composed of nobles of all sizes, otherwise it would not be called a Federation.
Territory without an owner is almost non-existent.
It is impossible for regular troops to live in the sky, so naturally they have to be stationed in the fiefdoms of local nobles, forming a relationship similar to that of borrowing.
And the nobles did not reject these garrisons.
Nobles have more power than anything else. Sometimes they even have the power to mobilize regular troops in their fiefdoms to handle some private matters, such as suppressing bandits. Noble territories with regular troops stationed are relatively peaceful.
But Huggins is different. Why are there suddenly troops stationed in this remote corner of the country
And once they are stationed, they will station 15,000 troops, one-fifth of the entire Southern Army. Even if Su Mo and Wallace py trade, they will not be able to obtain such strength.
Su Mo also didn't want an army of NPCs stationed in his territory.
In this way, he will not be able to develop this player territory unscrupulously, and it will be difficult to keep it a secret if he does anything outrageous.
Of course, now is not the time to think about that.
The first thing he had to figure out was why he needed to station troops here, and why his Huggins needed 15,000 elite regular troops to be stationed there.
It doesn't feel good.
Su Mo thought of the two old men who were still lying in the tavern, feeling as depressed as an eggplant beaten by frost.
As a lord, he must lead his subordinates to greet them.
Now that there is a mounted combat system, the players all have tall horses, and most of them are warriors with bloody battle flags. They all wear shining armor, and hundreds of people gather together, which makes them look extraordinary.
Su Mo did not expect that the person leading this force would be his old acquaintance.
Sheriff Thorin!
Oh, no, it shouldn't be called a sheriff. This old man accepted the appointment and became an officer again after exposing Archduke Stan.
Solinsat saw Su Mo and snorted heavily.
He has not forgotten what Su Mo did to his pet dog. This Lord Huggins is nothing.
Losing the face of the nobles.
"Oh, Mr. Sheriff, I haven't seen you for a long time. How is your dog?" Su Mo was very familiar with it.
"Fortunately, at least no damn little thief wants to steal it." Solinsat said in a sinister tone.
"That's good, that's good. If you don't feel comfortable leaving it at home, you can send it to me. He will serve you like an uncle. And we have a lot of dogs here. I have one myself. Just." Su Mo knew that the old man just had a weird temper, but in fact he was upright and a bit cute.
"Forget it, let's get down to business." Solinsat was defeated by Su Mo's shamelessness. Sarcasm was useless, and he couldn't explain it clearly, which would make him look un-aristocratic.
"Okay, I have received the notice from the garrison, and now I have come out to greet you. Sir, can I understand the intention of your army stationed in Hagins? This should not be a secret. Even if it is a secret, it will not be hidden from me. This lord?" Su Mo asked solemnly.
We are all colleagues and good people, there is no need to beat around the bush.
"Well, it has only been a few days of peace." Solinsat did not answer Su Mo immediately, but sighed heavily.
If there is really peace, he will once again disband and return to the field and go to the border to become a small peace officer.
When I had nothing to do, I would patrol the border or walk the dog. It was the most comfortable life in my life. Unfortunately, I was first tricked by Su Mo into participating in the war, and then I shouldered greater responsibilities.
"With the old general here, nothing can be settled!" Su Mo flattered him.
"It would be great if that were the case." Solinsat looked back at the soldiers who were following behind him with no end in sight, and sighed: "I only hope that these fifteen thousand brothers can help them as much as possible. Go home and reunite with your wife, children, and parents.”
Su Mo couldn't help but be in awe and praised: "You are really a benevolent general."
"If you really agree with me, just don't hold back in the future." Solinsat said.
"Look at what you said. Tell me, what kind of support do you need from us?" Su Mo said enthusiastically. His background in reality determines the strength of his support. There are so many lords in Huggins, but he is probably not able to understand it.
"The food supplies for my men and horses will be provided by the five surrounding fiefs. Since you are stationed in your fief, you may have to work harder." Solinsat entered the state and began to make his own requests. Frankly speaking, he didn't trust the nobles very much, and he knew what the nobles were like.
Selfishness is necessary, and some are bad things for various reasons.
"These are all small things. I will do my best to provide support." Su Mo calculated and found that even if he was asked to pay alone, he could still provide the supplies for this regular army.
It's not that Mr. Su is in trouble, but that Mr. Su is rich.
He controls not only Huggins, but also nineteen guild villages, and Countess Berryman is also an ally.
Of course, he's not stupid either.
The Federation has arranged for five fiefdoms to jointly provide support, so there is no need for him to be taken advantage of.
"By the way, I remember that you supervised the construction of Stan City. It seems that you have a lot of experience in building it." Solinsat was very satisfied with Su Mo's attitude.
"Yes, yes, I supervised the construction, and now it has become a famous building in the Federation." Su Mo was secretly happy, wondering if similar business would come to him again.
